Which cellular polycarbonate is better for a greenhouse?

This question sooner or later arises in any person who thinks about creating his own polycarbonate greenhouse. We will try to disassemble this further.

Advantages of honeycomb polycarbonate

Cellular polycarbonate, and this is not a secret for modern consumers, is advantageous for its high translucency.

So, some brands of this material miss about 89% of the sun's light, and that, you will agree, is a lot( the higher the figure, the better for a future greenhouse).

With its high light transmittance, cellular polycarbonate also dissipates it( rays passing through the surface).

And this, I must say, is very useful for the plants themselves, because it promotes uniform growth of all the seedlings in the greenhouse, and not plants of any particular site.

This fact, by the way, provokes many summer residents desire to buy a greenhouse made of polycarbonate or to build it with their own hands.

The thickness and structure of cellular polycarbonate, as well as the translucence of this material, can be different. But which cellular polycarbonate is better for a greenhouse?

What to choose for a greenhouse?

In this case, preference should be given to the material with a thickness of 6 millimeters( you will have a beautiful spring-autumn greenhouse) or a thickness of 16 millimeters( with such polycarbonate you can easily create even a winter greenhouse).

But creating a thicker polycarbonate hothouse with a larger thickness is not the best idea.

The fact is that the thicker a material, the less light-permeability it is characterized( this figure is only 55% for a material with a thickness of 40 millimeters).

Which brand do you prefer?

And now let's talk a little about trademarks, the products from which you can easily and without a shadow of a doubt buy to create their own greenhouses and greenhouses.
